Jay Shah had left his put up because the BCCI Secretary on November 31.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) will hold a meeting with the boards of major cricketing nations. Expected to be a virtual conversation, it’ll likely be an introductory session for Jay Shah, who officially assumes office as the new ICC Chairman on December 1.
ICC meeting on December 5, agenda unclear
Since the ICC headquarters have been closed since Sunday (December 1), Shah joined but wasn’t able to communicate with other boards. According to Cricbuzz, Thursday (December 5) will be his first day in the headquarters, and a meeting will be held to welcome him as the new ICC Chairman.
The agenda for the meeting remains unclear as of now. However, the issue regarding the scheduling of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 might be raised. Both the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will be present, and a solution could emerge.
PCB & BCCI’s stalemate on Champions Trophy
The last meeting regarding the Champions Trophy 2025 took place on the previous Friday (November 29). Unfortunately, nothing came of it. Due to the stalemate between the BCCI and PCB, it only lasted 15 minutes. Initially, the PCB didn’t budge from their stance. They made it clear that if the Champions Trophy 2025 doesn’t happen in Pakistan, they will pull out of the event and won’t send their team to India.
PCB has since proposed a ‘partnership or fusion model.’ As per this, the India vs Pakistan matches in ICC events for the next three years will be held in Dubai. This idea was met with a positive response at first from the ICC and BCCI, but it has reportedly been shot down by the BCCI since.
